00:00Some of the placards in the protests we saw over the weekend,

00:03do they go as far as inciting violence in your eyes?

00:06Well, that's a very interesting point,

00:08and I have raised that directly with the Metropolitan Police.

00:11I was told that the placards that were on social media

00:13that were being shown at that protest on Saturday were historic.

00:18They were not the placards that were being used.

00:21Now, I've had this raised with me already this morning.

00:24I'm very happy to go and raise that again with the Metropolitan Police.

00:26And clearly, if there's incitement in those placards,

00:30threats to individuals, that has to be looked at.

00:33That's a matter for the police, but I'm happy to raise that.

00:36Dame Diana Johnson, we thank you for stopping by.

00:37Good to see you this morning.
